"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina State has given men's basketball coach Mark Gottfried a pay raise that makes him the third highest-paid coach in the Atlantic Coast Conference.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The school said Friday its board of trustees approved a new contract for Gottfried that will pay him $1.95 million per year for six years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His annual salary remains at $750,000, and his supplemental compensation was boosted from $450,000 to $1.2 million. That moved Gottfried from ninth to third in the ACC in annual guaranteed compensation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;N.C. State's appearance in the NCAA tournament last March triggered an automatic two-year extension through 2017-18 for Gottfried, who led the Wolfpack to 24 victories in his first season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Athletic director Debbie Yow says Gottfried's \"competitive and recruiting success has accelerated our vision of excellence in an impressive way.\"&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
